SUMMER SURVEYSAID TO SCIENCE
MANY K. U. GROUPS EX PLORE STATE.
Many Valuable Specimens Collected as Result of Search for Fossils—Given to Museum
During the summer the University of Kansas obtained many new specimens of the fauna and flora of Kansas, both of the present time and of other ages. Several parties were working on the biological survey of Kansas which was started by the University last spring. All specimens collected on these yearly trips are given to the Museum of Natural History. Several of the members of the faculty also had charge of parties in other states completing old collections or adding new ones to our museum.
C. D. Bunker, assistant curator, and Theo Rocklund, museum assistant in zoology started in May from Barber county and proceeded west with their outfit along the south tier of Kansas counties until they reached the Colorado line, when they turned north, going as far as Wallace county. They collected over four hundred specimens of birds and between seventy and eighty species of small mammals on their way. While waiting in Wallace county for another party to relieve them they examined the fossil beds there and found much osteological material of interest. One unusually fine specimen of the saurin was discovered. It was practically complete and will be mounted as a free specimen, that is in natural skeleton form. This is the largest skeleton yet found and is over forty feet long. The head is over five feet long.
Other fossil material was taken from Wallace county by a party consisting of H. T. Martin, assistant curator in the Paleontological department, Mr. Martin's son Harry, Wyman Green, M. A. '11, and Clom Fairchilds, a student in the University. Later they went northwest into Colorado and secured large fossil horses, rhinoceroses, and camels in Greeley county which adds new forms to the present collection and greatly strengthens the mamilian material. These men returned to Lawrence in the latter part of August.
Just at the close of school Dr Roy L. Moodie, of the Zoological faculty with Wyman Green, '11; Will Bailey of Kansas City, a graduate of the University, and Peter McArdle the son of the architect of the new Administration building, spent six weeks getting a collection of fishes from the chalk beds of western Kansas. Many specimen of the Enchodus, which was the subject of Mr. Green's master's thesis last year, were found. The University has a larger collection of Niobraa Cretaceous than any other institution, and our collection is probably as large as all others taken together. This expedition of Dr. Moodie's adds materially to this department.
After Mr. Moodie's return he went to the Magon Creek grounds in Illinois and collected Carboniferous fossils, consisting of fossil plants. He also procured several hundred specimens of myrapods, spiders and crustaceans. A banker at Mazon donated part of his thirty years' collection to our institution.
Mr. Gunthorpe, fellow in zoology and formerly professor of zoology in Southwestern college with Mr. Stanton, a fellow in zoology accompanied Dr. Moodie to the Rock Creek district in Kansas called Twin Mounds. There they found much the same material that Mr. Moodie found in Illinois, showing that the two deposits were of the same age.
H. Martin together with Mr. Bunker and Mr. Rocklund started a second trip later in the summer. They are moving eastward along the north tier of counties making observations especially concerning migratory birds. This party is still in the field.
Another party of five namely Mr. Lindsey, instructor in zoology, Wenrich, a fellow in

the deartment, Ed Taylor, graduate student; Prof. Crow of Penn college in Iowa who is doing graduate work here this year, and Charles Hooper, '11, now attending Johns Hopkins; worked south on the east tier of counties in this state and west to Barber county. They collected fishes, turtles, snakes and some land animals. They were particularly interested in fresh water clams because people from outside have commenced to take clam shells from Kansas streams for eastern button factories. This practice may be stopped if such a step on the part of the state becomes necessary.
The College Barber Shop will close at 2 p.m. tomorrow.
